Mushroom Cake (Torta de Champiñones)

This mushroom cake is very easy to make, nothing fancy but the type of recipe you can make for lunch with a nice cup of soup. I bought
the mushrooms to make another recipe, but at the last minute, I realized that I didn’t have all the ingredients for it. Don’t you hate when that happens? But, that is how this mushroom cake was born and I loved it.

Place the olive oil in a skillet, over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes or until translucent.

Add the mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for about 7 to 9 minutes. Set aside.

In a medium bowl place the flour and baking powder. Set a side.

In a another bowl place the milk, cream cheese, ricotta, cheddar, olive oil, eggs and parmesan cheese. Mix well until combined.

Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and mix well, add the mushrooms reserving some for garnish.

Season with salt and pepper and stir until well combined. Pour the mixture onto a greased baking pan. Top with the reserved mushrooms and parmesan cheese. Bake for 45 minutes or until ready. Let it cool before removing.

I think I will make this tonight. HEY…..wait a minute….I don’t have any mushrooms in the house…!! ( Yup, I DO know what you mean!) Not a problem…a grocery store is 10 minutes away! Thanks for the recipe. I can tell it will be DEEE—licious.
Thanks also for stopping by at “the sandwich” ! Happy Super bowl Sunday

Yes, I can’t stand it when I forgot to pick up an ingredient to make something! It drives me crazy. This mushroom cake sounds delicious, especially with all that yummy cheese thrown in. What a fun and unique recipe and yes, perfect with soup!
